Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a question about policing or the law? You may be able to find the answer here.

Through our frequently asked questions section we aim to help you find the answers you need without having to call us to ask for information. We've provided answers to questions on a range of topics which are regularly asked of police forces up and down the country.

You should contact the local council for the area where the graffiti or fly posting has taken place.

If the person/organisation is known then it may be possible for the council to issue penalty notices and a 'defacement removal notice' (in Wales this is a 'graffiti removal notice' and applies only to graffiti).

If it is on council owned property, or if it is offensive/racially abusive, the council may be responsible for removing it. If not then the council may be able to advise you who to contact or remove the graffiti at a charge.

See the website in related information to find out your local council's details.
